I truly believe that no one will run for Pres without support from heavy hitters in the party.

Obama wouldn't have wasted his time and money had he been told that he would not be supported by key Democrats.

At least a couple years of shoring up support and backing is necessary to run for Pres...........Obama donated over 750k to campaigns of many superdelegates during the two years prior to his announced candidacy. This is a GOP ad in email form that I received today:

Obama's 143 Days of Senate Experience

Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obamahave in terms of actual work days? Not much.

From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.

In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.


Think about IT!!!
